2002 Iveco Daily 2.8L Diesel · NT02 AOP

The vehicle presents a concerning roadworthiness profile characterized by a worsening trend in structural integrity and mechanical neglect. While it passed the most recent test in March 2026 at 112,601 miles, the result was marginal. The tester noted a non-excessive oil leak and misting on the nearside front shock absorber, alongside parking brake efficiency that only barely met the legal threshold. This follows a critical structural failure in February 2025 where the chassis failed for excessive corrosion across all four body mounting arches. The recorded mileage of 112,601 miles is remarkably low for a 24-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,700 miles per year. However, the data shows a significant gap in testing between 2021 and 2023, during which the vehicle covered only 1,000 miles over two years. This low usage pattern likely correlates with the recurring issues observed, as components like brake pipes, brake pipes, and structural rust often seize or deteriorate more deeply when a vehicle sits stationary in a damp environment rather than being subjected to regular airflow and road use. A buyer must conduct a rigorous physical inspection of the chassis and frame, specifically focusing on the inner arches and sills where corrosion previously failed. The history shows a persistent pattern of corroded brake pipes, with multiple failures and leaks recorded between 2021, 2023, and 2024. Immediate attention is required for the braking system, as the recent test indicates the parking brake is reaching its limit. Furthermore, the misting shock absorbers and recurring oil leaks suggest that while the vehicle is currently legal, the suspension and sealing components are nearing the end of their functional life.
